Police said they were in the neighborhood Friday on an unrelated call when they were asked to check on a resident.

They said the neighbor's door was ajar and determined the person who lived there had been killed.

Several people that live in that complex are questioning their neighborhood's safety.

"You know Radcliff don't have too much trouble like that, for real. Every now and then you hear of something, but nothing like this. It's sad," neighbor Donald Mott said.

Residents said the victim had lived there for years.

They say he was an elderly man in poor health who leaned on his neighbors for help.

"He would offer money, 20 bucks or whatever, to come make my bed, help do my laundry, help me with dinner, run some errands, and, at the time, it didn't seem like it didn't matter who it was. He'd see somebody on the street and he'd just ask them," neighbor Terry Adamson said.

Adamson said he took care of the man for a time.

He suspects the man was killed in a robbery gone wrong.

"Might have been an opportunity, for either his narcotic drugs - he had a lot of medicine. He had also a lot of firearms, and he also had - carried a lot of money with him everywhere he went," Adamson said.

Police have not called this a robbery, though the police chief did say items were missing from the man's apartment.

Adamson said the man was generous and gentle, that he didn't deserve to die.

"Just a good neighbor. Very friendly man, very friendly. Maybe too friendly, now that I think about it," Adamson said.

Police said they do not have any suspects.

The police chief said they have not released the victim's identify because they have not been able to locate family members.
